A SEPARATION BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL
I despise my skin
the body within —
clothes that dispose
a shadow of myself
What awake human
could love this state
the separation between
heaven and hell

A HEAVEN
Should I skip a tulip upon
the face of death so elegantly
the horror or pleasure being
release of state or satisfaction
that tethers are cut to flow
above the skies of blue release
Human flesh I sing-weep for you
the perfection incased in beauty
Lower lips cascading tear-love
most souls sweep into the sea
but your love floats a heaven

OH LEVIATHAN
(c) E.P. Robles 2012
Oh Leviathan of deep oceans my soul!
no eye sees what waters move you
and cold deep comfort that warm heart
seafarers banish harpoon made of slate
and human hearts frail of tissue-skin
what chases whom across vastness say
ghosts, dreams, shadows, malaise
go my dear beast, deep, far, and wide
lest hemocyanin colour that grand heart
the oceans cover that which is great

GREAT FORGIVENESS GIVEN
I — caught in a discreet position this day
but the gods of lovely forgiveness
sang to me a tune in your voice
it was pink in nature — eloquent touch
and those eyes forgave in rich measure
a price that my life could never repay
what to say to that light that gives
a space between the shadows i walk
my love you are a dream that lives
and i am a dark spot you light my love
there are more than seven wonders
this life i live speaks of an eighth
let my humble love be enough for you
that your heart might ache no more

JELLY BEAN JOURNEY
Just once I sang from the bottom of my soul.
It was a joyous jelly bean bouncing on the
hot pavement of my heart and it left tracks
of gooey sugar from 1st Avenue to Melbourne Lane.
The crowds of people clapped as it made its way
and that dog who fell in love with you — his
eyes I fell into before your fragrance lifted
my soul to higher realms above the rooftops
of that older section of housing in the Big
City.
I have no idea where the jelly bean landed but
know that my heart fell into one of the many
street gratings and I await a torrential flooding
so my heart rises and I can escape to find you
before I’m washed into that vast ocean, forever lost.

THE KEY
on previous night
as i lay
my mind entwined
within a dream
nothing more
than just a dream
a vision of truth
did show to me
at creation’s edge
and out of reach
— for mortal man —
is the key
to immortality

RIVERS FLOW
(c) ep robles 2010
beyond the lies
and fleshy thorns
a second place
another time
we walked the stones
tripped through time
but village rudes
slain my love
drown by stream
rivers flow by
but never cease
— crimson tides
the tip of hatred
pierced my neck
a chain of pain
the children laughed
and danced the night
oh the wonders of life
never cease to amaze
mysteries of pain
maybe times are slow
but love wins the race
and you were my flower
and i the field of wonders
rivers flow by
but never cease
— crimson tides
women in love — lovers
beauty on beauty is such
candles melt leaving roses
and rivers flow in crimson
and if i ever live to see
your field of wonders
such beauty
i could never match
and rivers flow…
— crimson tides —

GESTICULATED POEM
(c) e.p.robles 2011
I gesticulate a birth poem
bottom third trimester
dilation my wish-so
and born soon for the world
such words pleasing to you
a mother is proud but sore
and weakness a strength
how i wish to born prose
before time consumes
but life begs patience
rhythm breath contraction
pushing primal need aside
a course for life words
cry pain release love
exhausting pleases me
rest kiss hand forehead
our child pure touch
eternal love beyond
poetry born in cradle

WHEN LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH
(c) e.p.robles 2012
when the words cut so deeply
do you cry for a lost love
when a long day comes to end
and has anyone ever said
they love you in truth
chasing ghosts away most
i can say love is my heart
and what darkest sorrow
i could never give it back
and you cry death away
and life cradles you
lovely soul hold on
and listen to me now
i would rather be alone
then betray such a love
so when the wind cuts you
and when you look away
know i am always with you
